Wakeboarding in Cascobay— off Cliff Island Maine.

Wakeboarding in Cascobay Maine. Cliff Island Maine wakeboard. Wakeboarding tips. How to wakeboard.



 This summer on Cliff Island Maine, I had the opportunity to go wakeboarding with Julian Bernard. The first couple of times I went out I had trouble standing up. But after a little practice, and tips from friends I got the hang of it.



Wakeboarding tips for beginners, these are the most helpful tips that helped me learn to wakeboard: 


1. Communicate with the boat driver, let the driver know if you want to go faster or slower.


2. Don’t try to pull yourself up. Wait for the momentum of the boat to pull you up. 


3. Stand up slowly, and bend your knees.

We Meet Again at Hueco Tanks                            by            Kai Stanton Holloway  I'm back," I whispered to the boulders staring down at me. Hueco Tanks has overhangs, face, and slab climbs--everything you would expect in bouldering heaven and, in my opinion, the best v2 ever.     As soon as we pulled into our campsite my brother and I couldn’t wait to get to the mountain and we both had one route in our mind. My dad, brother and I hiked up North Mountain treading on the same trail as three years before. Everything was how I remembered it. I walked past all the routes I had climbed when I was eleven. Could I still climb them now that I was fourteen?     I walked past a pile of crash pads and there in front of me was Nobody Gets Out Alive in my opinion the best v2 of all time. We’re here, my dad told us. I unclipped my climbing shoes from my backpack and looked at the overhanging climb. Its chalked face looked back at me as if daring me to try and climb her.     I sto

Two Eye Catching MultiPitch Climbs in Potrero Chico Mexico

  Two Eye Catching MultiPitch Climbs in Potrero Chico                                     By Kai Holloway  I looked down at the Potrero Chico Valley, and across at the stunning limestone cliffs that make up the climbing paradise of Mexico. We were at the summit of Super Nova, a classic eight pitch 5.11, water fall like rock feature. I couldn’t believe we had actually made it to the Yosemite of Mexico. This January my family of five began our climbing adventure starting in Maine, and traveling south towards the Shawangunks, and Potrero Chico. Throughout our trip south in our skoolie (converted school bus that we call BaseCamp) I had been dreaming of climbing and hiking in Potrero Chico because of its unique concentration of world class multi and single pitch sport routes. It was everything I hoped for, and a few pitches more! These are my two favorite climbs in Potrero Chico. Super Nova: My favorite route we did during our time in Potrero Chico was Super Nova, an amazing eight pitch 5.1

  Winning the Elizabethtown Mother's Day 5K By Kai Holloway Sprinting for the finish line. (Photo taken by my grandmother Lovey) It was three o'clock, and my grandfather, whom we call Pop Pop, had signed up our whole family for the Mother's Day 5K race. My two little brothers, Zev (8) and Cove (12), my mom, dad, and I (15) were all going to be running. It was 2:55 p.m. We all had our bibs and race shirts on. We were gathered around a big oak tree, stretching, and my grandmother, whom we call Lovey, took a pre-race photo. Pre race family photo Soon afterward, all the runners were called over to the starting line to start the race at 3:00 p.m. The race director talked for a little while, and then said over his loudspeaker, "Now, let's take a moment of silence... for all the mothers out there." It was an interesting way to start a race. I stood there about two rows in from the start line, my heart poundin
